Sex-selection abortion in California–which has evolved into a cottage tourism industry for women wishing to hand-pick their baby’s gender–will remain a protected practice after the Assembly Health Committee snubbed a proposal on May 6 to end the barbaric trend. As expected, the committee voted along party lines, 13-6, squelching Assembly Bill (AB) 2336 (Grove R-Bakersfield).

In introducing her Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act at the hearing, Assemblywoman Shannon Grove offered statistics showing that entire population segments are shifting toward male majorities as experts estimate that 160 million girls have been killed either from through sex-selection abortion or infanticide at birth by parents seeking a boy.

Grove cited evidence that women from China, India, and other nations where the practice has been outlawed are now coming to California to take advantage of the state’s dangerously deregulated abortion laws.

Liberals talk a big game about fighting the war on women. But when it comes to protecting the most vulnerable and helpless women among us, to fighting a real war on women, they don’t seem to care much about it — after all, abortion is more important than the slaughter of millions of baby girls who were killed just because they were the wrong gender.
